    Where to Find the Best Content Ideas

    In this episode of Content, Briefly, Eric Doty and Chloe Thompson tackle a question every content marketer faces: where do great content ideas actually come from? Spoiler — it's not keyword tools or AI prompts. Eric and Chloe walk through the internal sources they rely on most, from lurking obsessively on company Slack channels to mining sales calls, customer success conversations, support tickets, and product usage data. They dig into why talking to customers (or at least listening to their calls) teaches you more than months of ICP research, and how tools like Fathom and Gong are making it easier to do meta-analysis across transcripts at scale. The conversation also covers external idea sources — private communities, industry publications, and strategic LinkedIn feed curation — before shifting to their personal ideation processes. Chloe shares how she balances keyword lists with a running idea bank, while Eric reveals a clever Slack automation hack that builds internal visibility for the content calendar and invites ideas from across the company. It's a practical, honest look at how to fill your content calendar with ideas that actually resonate. This episode is sponsored by uSERP.

  3. The Art of Content: Did We Lose the Plot with Blogs?

    The Art of Content: Did We Lose the Plot with Blogs?

    In this episode of Content, Briefly, Alex sits down with Rachel Bicha, a freelance content strategist and founder of The Art of Content — a collective microblog bringing content marketers together to share thoughts on practice and theory. They dig into Rachel's provocative first post, "I think we lost the plot about blogging," and explore how blogs went from spaces for genuine connection and ideas to SEO-driven content machines. Rachel breaks down how the skyscraper era, the gamification of metrics, and now AI have eroded the implicit trust between writer and reader — and why the problem was never really about length. The conversation also covers why Rachel chose a blog over a newsletter, what it means to step outside the pressure to monetize everything, and whether the original spirit of blogging can make a comeback. It's a thoughtful look at what we lost, what we're craving, and how content marketers can bring meaning back to the work.

  4. The Storytelling Title Boom

    The Storytelling Title Boom

    In this episode of Content, Briefly, Eric Doty and Chloe Thompson dig into corporate America's latest hot job title: storyteller. Inspired by a viral Wall Street Journal piece, they unpack whether the surge in storytelling roles represents a genuine shift in how companies think about content — or just a cost-cutting move dressed up with a more romantic title. Chloe brings a fresh perspective as someone who recently navigated the job market and saw these postings firsthand. They discuss how storytelling roles blur the lines between content marketing, comms, and PR, why traditional journalists are struggling to land these jobs despite having the skills, and what Matilda Sheeran calls the "processes and politics" keeping the best stories locked away inside companies. The conversation also explores how content marketing careers may be forking into two paths — the editorial-minded storyteller and the AI-powered content engineer — and what that means for anyone building a career in the space right now. ************************ Useful Links: Follow Eric on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edoty/ Follow Chloe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloethompson3/WSJ article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/companies-are-desperately-seeking-storytellers-7b79f54e?st=pbbhxJ&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink Matilda Sheeran's post on The Art of Content: https://theartofcontent.blog/2026/02/10/storytelling-is-crushing-the-content-leader/ ************************ Stay Tuned: ► Website: https://www.superpath.co/ ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@superpath ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/superpath/ ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/superpathco ************************ Don’t forget to leave us a five-star review and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    AI SEO with Gauge's Caelean Barnes

    In this episode of Content, Briefly, Alex talks with Caelean Barnes, CEO of Gauge, about what actually drives results in AI search. They unpack why clear, direct first-party content is the biggest lever, how third-party platforms shape AI narratives, and why strategies must stay iterative as models constantly change. Caelean shares the core metrics that matter — visibility and citation rate — plus why self-reported attribution is essential in a zero-click world. They also explore how AI is compressing the funnel and shifting content marketers toward strategy, editing, and orchestration over manual production. Bottom line: SEO fundamentals still work — but content must be clearer, fresher, and built for AI.

    How to collect synthetic feedback (+ more Claude tips)

    In this episode of Content, Briefly, Jimmy and Eric dig into synthetic feedback — using AI personas to pressure-test your content before publishing. They share how to build data-informed audience profiles, turn them into reusable Claude skills, and gather structured feedback from different perspectives (freelancer, in-house, exec, skeptic, skimmer). The goal: catch gaps earlier, strengthen arguments, and make human editing more strategic. They also reflect on the bigger challenge of adopting AI while doing the actual job — and how to use it as a sparring partner without losing your editorial judgment.

  7. The Freelancer Niche Explosion

    The Freelancer Niche Explosion

    In this episode of Content, Briefly, Alex and Eric dive into the “freelancer niche explosion” — and why 2026 may belong to micro‑specialists. They explore how leaner in‑house teams, post‑layoff hiring caution, and rapid AI adoption have reshaped the old model of content marketing. Instead of large teams and freelance blog writers, startups are increasingly relying on highly specific experts: LinkedIn ghostwriters, Reddit strategists, AI workflow builders, demo video editors, and more. The conversation unpacks why generalist marketers are stretched thinner than ever, how experimentation now drivesfreelance hiring, and why specialization can be a major advantage in a fast‑changing landscape. An optimistic, practical discussion for freelancers and in‑house marketers navigating the next era of content work.

  8. Is Content Theater a Good Strategy?

    Is Content Theater a Good Strategy?

    In this episode of Content, Briefly, Chloe, Eric, and Jimmy unpack the idea of “content theater” — creating content not just to be consumed, but to shape perception, legitimacy, and trust. They debate when content breadth can be more valuable than depth, especially for small teams selling to larger companies, and explore how content can signal scale, strategy, and credibility even if it’s rarely read end‑to‑end. The conversation digs into surround‑sound marketing, MVP content, and the tension between quality, quantity, and checkbox marketing. The episode also examines modern content consumption realities — skimming, algorithms, repurposing, AI summaries, and LLM discovery — and asks a provocative question: should content be created with the assumption that no one will read it? A thoughtful, nuanced discussion for marketers navigating scale, perception, and the evolving role of content in 2026. This episode is sponsored by Ahrefs.
